[quote=Anonymous]As a nanny who's always received thoughtful cards and rarely received a decent bonus, I find this difficult to relate to.

Some of my MBs did write very genuine cards full of praise and gratitude, and although those are appreciated, those MBs were the same ones who ALWAYS found ways to show their appreciation throughout the year (again, with thoughtful words, not money typically), so I already knew how they felt. Many of my MBs were...passive aggressive bitches, and they'd still write a lovely card, but I knew they didn't really mean it. Those MBs were the WORST when it came to cash bonuses or spends gifts, too.

I have kept the nice cards from the MBs who I know truly appreciated me, but they're packed away in a box and I'm always tempted to toss them to reduce clutter in my tiny apartment. I tossed the cards from the not so nice MBs immediately. In every case I would've preferred cash.

The most money I've ever received as a Christmas bonus was $500; I've never received a full weeks salary. I don't think it's because they were unhappy with me, because they all continued working with me a long time and always highly recommended me to their friends for evening babysitting, etc.

This is my first year with my new family, after spending the last 4 years with my previous NF. I started with my new family in February. They're first time parents and I'm crossing my fingers they'll give me a decent bonus (my last day before Christmas is tomorrow). [/quote]
